My x590 is smoking too after start up

Not sure why but sometimes the Kawasaki engines in the X5** series mowers smoke at startup. My X540 will randomly do this yet never has required adding an oil between oil changes.

My best guess on reason is that if parked in certain position oil collects in some location and is then drawn into the cylinder creating the start up smoke

Maybe it's just vaping.

Pre lubing for a non dry start up? Yeah that's the ticket.

Our X 500 does it as well, almost always on the first spring fire up and also just randomly, agree likely the parking position.
